toe fracture
Cracked foot bone
A toe fracture is a break in one of the bones of the toe, typically caused by stubbing, dropping something heavy on the foot, or repetitive stress.
Most toe fractures heal with rest and buddy taping—strapping the injured toe to an adjacent one for support: The X-ray confirmed a toe fracture in her pinky toe.
